What is the ECC+ Security extension for Joomla!?

The ECC+ Security extension for Joomla! is a highly-rated plugin that provides effective spam protection for Joomla!, as well as third-party registration and contact forms. ECC+ can be used on its own or along with several popular external antispam services such as Akismet, reCaptcha, and Mollum.

In addition to antispam capabilities, ECC+ enhances site security with protection against SQL injection and local file inclusion attacks.

How ECC+ protects against spam

ECC+ protects registration and contact forms from spam by requiring a simple arithmetic task before forms can be submitted. For more protection against spambots, you can include a hidden field in your forms, which will be seen and filled in only by spambots and not by human visitors, and enable a time restriction feature that prevents forms from being rapidly submitted.

Features and third-party support included in ECC+:

  • Arithmetic problem – Addition and subtraction
  • Number of operands can be selected – 2 or 3
  • Numbers can be written as words
  • Hidden form fields

  • SQL injection and local file inclusion protection
